Absolve, quaesumus, Domine, animam (Prayer on the Day of Decease and Burial)
Absolve, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the soul of Thy servant N. that being dead to the world he (or she) may live to Thee; and whatever he (or she) has committed through human frailty, do Thou wipe away by the pardon of Thy most merciful goodness. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.
